Have a look at https://github.com/rombert/mantisbt/blob/soap-custom-filters/api/soap/mc_filter_api.php#L143
, where the mc_filter_search_issue_headers function is starting to be
implemented. Right now it works for just a few properties (
https://github.com/rombert/mantisbt/blob/soap-custom-filters/api/soap/mc_filter_api.php#L9
) , even though the WSDL should include all the fields (
https://github.com/rombert/mantisbt/blob/soap-custom-filters/api/soap/mantisconnect.php#L502
).

If you want to help, checkout the project from my github page ( use
the soap-custom-filters branch ) and try a few searches, see how they
work. If you find bugs, let me know. If you see some things which are
not implemented and you can fix them , please do :-)

Robert
